The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) has retired its assurance standard for greenhouse gas reporting following the publication of a new standard on generic sustainability assurance.

The International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3410, called ‘Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements’, will be withdrawn by the end of next year. Greenhouse gas reporting assurance will instead be included in the 2024 International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000, ‘General Requirements for Sustainability Assurance Engagements’ – which is effective for information reported on or after December 15, 2026.
